Completely agree ... granted that's comparing a 23 year old rookie and a 29 year old vet, but I sincerly doubt Rudy will ever be able to play perimeter defense or handle the ball as well as Salmons does. I like Rudy and I think he's probably going to end up being a pretty good offensive player, but I can't quite wrap my brain around how attached to him people seem to be.
I love rudy because I have a t-shirt that says so, and because I have a bobblehead from a now extinct sporting goods store... get me those items in Salmons flavor and I will jump over to that train.
